about

Experimental ambient instrumental guitarist Chris Nicola and Michael Korb worked together to create this abstract conceptual sound-scape, an attempt at documenting, representing and postulating on the highs and lows of the human psyche.

lyrics

There is no salvation, there is only hell
No identification, there's no sense of self.
Only trepidation, in this lonely cell
Barren devastation, you know no one else.
Deaf Dumb and Complacent, what have you to sell?
Get them while their baking, swallow nothing well,
Life is what you've paid in, now an empty well.
There is no salvation there is only hell.

The difference between the living and the deceased,
Is that the living's appreciation for their position can decrease.
Despite seeing peace at a brief glimpse at existence,
With experience you'll meet the epiphany easily that this
globe overflowed with creeps is a post apocalyptic beast.
Paranoia, narrow views, hubris,
Mistrust, disgust, disillusionment discussed,
bus stops operate in poverty optics
appearing appallingly apparently as opportunity for mansion expansion.
Pan-opticon, conservatives, con artists,
preservatives, active in all available,
barely edible tarnished harvest garbage,
politicians dishing out silver spoon lip
dinner bullshit charming with
quote unquoted harmless motives
Votive candle light vigil, vigilante,
anti-working man, manipulation,
shun the peace, piece of Jesus,
shoved at me subliminally
substituting sustenance supposedly,
the needy now are nuisances,
the greedy gluttons gather uselessness
with Jacked stock trade climbing like
jacked pot games for diamonds spades and aces
don't spare but strike and heartlessly club and spade the vagrants!
Happiness poisoned and displaced
jaded by this place's ugly faces.
You've come to the realization, there is no salvation.

There is no salvation, there is only hell
(There are revelations, heavens combat hells)
No identification, there's no sense of self.
(Only in isolation, does one find oneself)
Only trepidation, in this lonely cell
(Promote elevation, rise inside your cells)
Barren devastation, you know no one else.
(Through communication, you'll find someone else)
Deaf Dumb and Complacent, what have you to sell?
(In your pride's engagement, never swallow or sell)
Get them while their baking, swallow nothing well,
(You are your own nation, you must rule it well)
Life is what you've paid in, now an empty well.
(Yearning earning salivation, filling up your well)
There is no salvation, there is only hell
(There are revelations, heavens combat hells)

Suddenly timid desire for acquiring a smile kicks in,
even in the midst of a frigid environment,
the sky admits the sun has higher lit tips, to emit,
a beautiful fire with. Even burn victims, recognize
the gifts inside the flames a fire flicks.
Heat can defeat and deplete,
as much as complete and treat,
to relieve the leaves that leave the trees
eased down to bleed out on a cold concrete
terrible firmer, Terra-firma.
Success, essence of senselessness,
netted self appreciation in selflessness
Nestle leisurely, leaning nimbly with lovers,
Friendships, laughter, afternoons,
oozing with nonstop nonsense
ensues, soothing surety of elevation,
vacation taken with family milling
millions of miles from malevolence,
lancing violence and malnourished
issues of usual useful fulfillment, fueling
mental satiation and motivation.
You can't meet new friends if you don't meet new places,
and you can't tie loose ends if you don't step into others shoes and laces,
I'd hate to lose the faces that i relate with and those i may yet engage with,
the difference between life and death is between spiteful breaths, there's still hope for salvation.

There are revelations, heavens combat hells,
Only in isolation, does one find oneself,
Promote elevation, rise inside your cell,
Through communication, you'll find someone else,
In your pride's engagement, never swallow or sell,
You are your own nation, you must rule it well,
Yearning earning salivation, filling up your well.
There are revelations, heavens combat hells.
Life is our salvation, there was never hell,
only your creation, when choices don't bode well,
With some great elation, see there is no hell,
life is always changing, positivity swells,
Reactions are created, make heavens not hells,
with confident orchestration, combat demons well.
you are your salvation, you will combat hell.
